More quotes by Andre Maurois
It is often said that in prosperity we have many friends, but that we are usually neglected when things go badly. I disagree. Not only do malicious people flock about us in order to witness our ruin, but other unfortunates as well, who have been kept away by our happiness, and now feel close to us on account of our troubles.
Andre Maurois
There are certain persons for whom pure Truth is a poison.
Andre Maurois
Lost Illusion is the undisclosed title of every novel.
Andre Maurois
To reason with poorly chosen words is like using a pair of scales with inaccurate weights.
Andre Maurois

An old man, having retired from active life, regains the gaity and irresponsibility of childhood. He is ready to play, he cannot run with his son, but he can totter with his grandson. Our first and last steps have the same rhythm.
Andre Maurois
For intelligent people, action often means escape from thought, but it is a reasonable and a wise escape.
Andre Maurois
It is restful to leave one's home not because traveling does not entail varied and difficult daily actions, but because it removes our responsibilities.
Andre Maurois
A friend loves you for your intelligence, a mistress for your charm, but your family's love is unreasoning you were born into it and are of its flesh and blood. Nevertheless it can irritate you more than any group of people in the world.
Andre Maurois
The effectiveness of work increases according to geometric progression if there are no interruptions.
Andre Maurois
Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them.
Andre Maurois
Artificial inflation of stocks must be considered a crime as serious as counterfeiting, which it closely resembles.
Andre Maurois
